They say it's not just what you know, but who you know that makes a difference.
This is true for building a successful law practice, and it's especially true when it comes to navigating Statehouse politics. Fortunately, the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA) has got you covered on both fronts.

Case in Point: Reversing the Lawyer Tax Increase
This summer, an 11th hour state budget amendment surfaced that would have singled out attorneys, precluding them from being able to claim the state business income deduction and resulting in a tax increase for many come 2020.
When news of the amendment broke, the OSBA immediately mobilized our vast network of lawyers and called upon our relationships with key lawmakers to get the tax increase reversed before it could ever take effect.
It is precisely for situations like this that the OSBA maintains its constant presence on Capitol Square and why we have worked so hard to cultivate strong relationships with decision makers in Columbus and Washington. That's how we maintain our mantle as an effective voice for the legal profession.
